It’s everywhere. From images, to videos, to Tiktoks, to adverts … I’m over saturated with opinions, replays, player ratings, hyperbole and the like.

There’s only so much you can take.

Example 1. The Newcastle goal vervus Arsenal. Never ending discussions on the decision. The hyperbolic nature of the punditry. The uneven opinions of the same people.

Example 2. Handball against Newcastle. Hundreds of videos all moaning, complaining over and over again. The same pundits complaining and restarting their opinion.

And now the new one - the ref not giving Man City an advantage in the Tottenham game. It starts all over again. The videos, the complaining, the shouting Tiktoks…

I just don’t care anymore.

Rational discussions are gone, replaced with hyperbole and drama.

It’s too much. I can’t watch any football related content anymore.

The only thing to do is to shut it all out but the commentary is just as bad.

    How about instead of giving up football, just give up social media outlets?? They seem to be damaging the things you enjoy.

    Watch football games but fuck the pre and post build up, fuck football related youtube videos, twitter and tiktok… actually just fuck tiktok off altogether.

      This is what I do.

      Helps living stateside. Plus the games get over really early in the day and you (possibly) aren’t shitfaced when they’re done.

      Exactly! Nobody is forced to watch anything. Elements of A Clockwork Orange have come true, but not that one.

      This is exactly what I done… Delete all other social media and tbf reddit has good discussions for the most part

      Yes this.

      They all do it for the outraged click bait revenue.

      At a massive cost to societies values

      second this. I do not use Tiktok but I know it is full of hate speech under Chinese propaganda. There is nothing wrong with football from what op said. Maybe Ref is a problem but the bigger problem is the op obsession with social media.
